6GHz delicensing: India needs to assume ‘statesman role' for 5G, 6G spectrum, says GSMA
NEW DELHI: As Indian telecom carriers suffer a setback arising from the Centre's decision to delicense the lower 6GHz for Wi-Fi , the telco association GSMA said India needs to take a 'statesman role' in framing a spectrum strategy for its 5G expansion and sixth-generation (6G) technology development needs. 'We acknowledge India's suggestion to allocate (lower 6GHz for Wi-Fi). It is important to ensure that India takes a global position, and with the rapid growth of 5G in India, enough spectrum must be allocated. We encourage ensuring a firm and structured roadmap for mobile technology going forward,' Julian Gorman, head of Asia Pacific at GSMA, told ETTelecom in an interview. The Central government has recently notified draft rules to delicense the lower 6GHz, between 5925-6425MHz, for Wi-Fi, dealing a significant blow to the country's incumbent telecom carriers that had been lobbying with the government to identify and auction airwaves in this entire mid-band to address a spectrum shortfall for expanding 5G services, and to meet the demands for 6G in the future. The technology companies, represented by the Broadband India Forum (BIF), had urged the Ministry of Communications to reconsider its decision to auction the 6GHz band to telecom carriers, arguing that delays in delicensing these airwaves are causing an annual loss of ₹12.7 lakh crore to the government's exchequer. The entire 6GHz band has 1,200MHz spectrum between 5925-7125MHz. 'As we are leading up to WRC-27 (World Radiocommunication Conference-2027) and for India to lead in 6G, it is important that the regulators take a global statesman role,' the top executive said. Union telecom minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday said that 6GHz-driven Wi-Fi technologies, including Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, will fuel innovation in the country, adding that the benefits of broadband internet will also reach rural villages and hamlets. 'We have just delicensed 500 MHz in our 6 GHz spectrum, and this will roll out these new, next generation technologies like Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, which will result in higher speeds, ultra-low-latency, and seamless capacity,' the union minister said. 'With this technology, offices will no longer remain the hub of innovation. Our homes, each individual home, each rural hamlet, will become the hub of innovation in the days to come.' Over 84 countries, including the US, UK and South Korea, among others, have already delicensed the 6 GHz band for WiFi services. In India, Wi-Fi is currently provided using the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, which, according to experts, suffer from congestion and low bandwidth challenges and cannot adequately support the rapidly scaling IoT and smart devices ecosystem. Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 can theoretically offer peak bandwidth speeds of up to 9.6Gbps, compared to 1.2Gbps provided by today's Wi-Fi technologies. Gorman, however, said that the 6GHz-compliant device ecosystem is still evolving, adding that China has allocated this entire mid-band for mobile services. 'It's a strong ecosystem to be a part of,' he said. According to GSMA, private networks are one of the major applications dependent on the 26GHz airwaves – commonly referred to as mmWave spectrum. 'Private networks are one of the fastest-growing areas of network deployment. So I think we'll start to see more and more development,' Gorman said.

6 GHz-driven Wi-Fi to boost innovation across India: Jyotiraditya Scindia
NEW DELHI: The Central government's decision to delicense the lower 6 GHz band will drive the proliferation of next-generation Wi-Fi technologies such as Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, and boost innovation in the country, union telecom minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Tuesday. 'We have just delicensed 500 MHz in our 6 GHz spectrum, and this will roll out these new, next generation technologies like Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, which will result in higher speeds, ultra-low-latency, and seamless capacity,' Scindia said at an industry conference. 'With this technology, offices will no longer remain the hub of innovation. Our homes, each individual home, each rural hamlet, will become the hub of innovation in the days to come,' the union minister said. The 6 GHz band-driven Wi-Fi can offer broadband speeds of up to 9.6 Gbps compared to 1.3 Gbps in the 5 GHz band, and 600 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Globally, several countries, including the US, the UK, and South Korea, have already delicensed the mid-band airwaves for Wi-Fi use. Wi-Fi in India is currently supported by 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. These bands, however, suffer from congestion, offer relatively lower speeds, and cannot adequately support the booming number of devices. Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, by contrast, will fuel the adoption of applications such as 4K streaming and online gaming, AR/VR services, and serve as a foundation for the rapidly expanding IoT ecosystem. The technology industry, represented by the Broadband India Forum (BIF) and others, had been demanding that the government delicense the lower portion of 6 GHz, between 5925 MHz to 7125 MHz, for Wi-Fi. Telecom carriers, led by the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), however, had been lobbying that the government identify and auction the entire 6 GHz band for fifth-generation (5G) and 6G services. 'I believe that broadband is no longer a pipeline, but is a platform for progress. Now we have to ensure that this platform for progress reaches every hand, lights every home, and reaches every corner of our country,' Scindia said. The union minister exhorted the industry to increase the utilisation of the BharatNet infrastructure , suggesting that the companies devise fiber-sharing models, empower local entrepreneurs, and drive digital onboarding of citizens for broadband services. 'I would suggest to you six foundational pillars on which our mission has to be based. These are affordability, availability, accessibility, quality, safety, and the use of emerging technology such as AI, IoT and satellite to reach the last mile,' Scindia said.
